Sega announced today that the release date for Phantasy Star Portable for the PSP has been moved up to March 3rd. As reported on earlier, the game takes place after the story in Phantasy Star Universe, so we can probably expect all the classes and races from PSU.

Phantasy Star Portable will finally deliver on what PSU players have been waiting for in particular, offline co-op. Up to four people with the game can play wirelessly via ad-hoc, but no online support will be offered.

Sounds like a winner for me as I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Phantasy Star series.
